Sorry I didn't knew that. When I first asked Richards at Aquamist forum where could I get some fittings for braided hoses he said Howerdon Engineering has them, i thought that was the manufacturer. Anyway they are overpriced and very poor quality but they are the only option. You cannot get the same fittings anywhere else so they charge whatever they like. At least they should make them better quality

You have two options to set it.
1st you can have it programmed to follow IDC (injection duty cycle)

2nd you can have it set based on boost.

Also you can set the % of meth sprayed

I'm looking for all the parts that milou used and i found this kit. It looks awesome.



I'm waiting for info if this will connect to the aquamist and also if Jeff Howerton can make me something like this.

It would be sweet if i there was a kit like this with the right mesures for the 997 Turbo. It would make the instalation very simple and safe.

You need to buy the parts and have it custom made, off the shelf parts are cheap and very poor quality. To do the conversion I had to buy some fittings from Aquamist, those fittings were the lowest quality possible and overpriced.
True AN fittings are made for aircraft-navy applications or made to their standards. The ones I bought from Aquamist were butter soft and costed me more than the Earl's stainless steel true AN fittings.
My advise is to stay away from off the shelf parts, they will not fit on your Porsche, you need to buy the parts and have them custom installed. By the way, the braided hose and fittings costed me as much or more than the Aquamist kit, but now it runs safe

If you really want to go ahead on this, i advice you to go to any tools shop to buy the braided hose, AN fittings and specific tools. The best route is to go custom and it is very easy to to work with the right tools. This way you choose the quality and finish of the parts. If oil braided hose is safe for engine oil high pressure and temperature, it should be also safe for meth.

You guys are right, custom made is the way to go.

I found almost everything i need in Stainless Steel made by Earl's Performance

-3 Speed-Flex™ Stainless Braided Teflon™ Bore Hose 1/8" ID (Uncoated or coated with several colors to choose from)
-3 A.N. Female Speed-Seal™ Hose Ends (Stainless Steel)
-3 A.N. All Male Tee Piece Adapter (Stainless Steel)
-3 A.N. Male to 1/8" BSP Male (Stainless Steel) = For FAV and Tank Adapter


I'm still looking for a way to not use the Aquamist Pump and Jet adapter wich are made in Mild Steel ZINC and are overpriced...

For the pump i can use the supplied Port Adapter and change the side that connects to the tube for a -3 A.N. Male to 1/8" BSP Male (Stainless Steel) It's a better option than Aquamist and i save a lot of money.

For the Aquamist Jet i'm screwed because i don't know the size of the fittings and i'm forced to use the Aquamist Jet Adapter... Maybe if i send one Aquamist Jet to Earl's Perf. in the UK they can find the adapter for me
Another option is using the Coolingmist Jets with -3 A.N. Male to 1/8" NPT Male with 1/8" NPT Female to Female but this is only available in Aluminium anodised Blue. I could also try to custom make them in Stainless Steel, like milou did, but that is hard work and i'm not in the mood to get my hands dirty.

I'm going to try to find an option in other manufacturers for the jets and also a one Stainless Steel piece adapter for the Pump

One question... How much meters of hose should i buy?

Prefer to buy the hose which is covered. That's what I got, more durable, clean and heat roof.
You won't find any fittings for the jets I guarantee you that! Also stay away from the ones supplied by aquamist, they are a joke.
I have changed my nozzles to some stainless steel high quality ones, but again I had some issues. If you decide to do the modd I'll help you
